Imagine a Day Without Water: A National Campaign to Raise Awareness about the Water Infrastructure Crisis in the US. Ms. Radhika Fox, CEO of the U.S. Water Alliance and Director of the Value of Water Coalition, says “Most people can take for granted that when they turn on the tap, or flush the toilet, water systems function exactly as they are supposed to. But the systems that provide critical water and wastewater services are aging and we need to take action before it gets worse. A day without water would be nothing short of a crisis, which is why it’s important to spread awareness about the essential role that water plays in our lives.”
Katie Sullivan of Media Matters comes on the program to talk about how some republicans, including Governor Scott Walker, urged conservative talk radio hosts to discuss widespread voter fraud, even though there was no evidence to support it.
The middle class is on the rise again, according to the census department. Mary Ann Levine from POLITICO joins us to talk what it could mean for Hillary Clinton if it is viewed as President Obama’s success
Hour 2
Attorneys Mike Healey and Jay Hornak talk about voter protection, including how votes are cast and counted.
This week on our segment The Education Watchdog with Butch Santicola we talk with Zeek Weil from PSEA about online charter schools unionizing under the NLRB, some of the difficulties and how they are organizing, negotiation, and getting things down.

Imagine a Day Without Water: A National Campaign to Raise Awareness about the Water Infrastructure Crisis in the US. Ms. Radhika Fox, CEO of the U.S. Water Alliance and Director of the Value of Water Coalition, says “Most people can take for granted that when they turn on the tap, or flush the toilet, water systems function exactly as they are supposed to. But the systems that provide critical water and wastewater services are aging and we need to take action before it gets worse. A day without water would be nothing short of a crisis, which is why it’s important to spread awareness about the essential role that water plays in our lives.”
Katie Sullivan of Media Matters comes on the program to talk about how some republicans, including Governor Scott Walker, urged conservative talk radio hosts to discuss widespread voter fraud, even though there was no evidence to support it.
The middle class is on the rise again, according to the census department. Mary Ann Levine from POLITICO joins us to talk what it could mean for Hillary Clinton if it is viewed as President Obama’s success

Josh Shapiro, candidate for PA Attorney General, joins us in-studio to discuss the importance of problem solving courts like veterans' and drug courts, his opposition to private prisons, and his commitment to ensuring that laws are applied fairly.
